Scholarly Program Evaluation
Various resources exist for conducting program evaluations, but these resources do not specify features of a scholarly program evaluation. In this commentary, the authors use Glassick’s criteria for scholarship (clear goals, adequate preparation, appropriate methods, significant results, effective presentation, and reflective critique) to define what counts as a scholarly program evaluation. Then they use a hypothetical scenario common in medical…
Where Do We Go From Here? An Inventory of Publicly Available Data About Educator Academies, Medical Education Departments, and Offices of Medical Education
With the recent widespread growth and interest among medical educators, analysis of how departments of medical education are structured and their intersection with existing structures within the same institution, such as an office of medical education and/or academy of educators, is warranted. Based on a review of the literature, the authors determined there was a need for an inventory of what medical schools have to offer their faculty, whether …
Motivators and barriers for rural community preceptors in teaching
Medical education research study quality instrument
Based on these results there is evidence that MERSQI items can be significantly influenced by interpretation, which lead to a difference in scoring. The MERSQI is a useful guide for identifying research methodologies. However, it should not be used to make judgments on the overall quality of medical education research methodology in its current format. The authors make specific recommendations for how the instrument could be revised for greater c…
Faculty bridging individual and organizational resilience
Background Medical student burnout and anxiety has received growing attention in the past decade. The culture of competition and assessment has resulted in increasing stress levels amongst medical students, causing a decline in their academic performance and overall mental health. The objective of this qualitative analysis was to characterize recommendations from educational experts to aid students’ academic progress.Methods At an international m…
Hypertension Education to Address and Reduce Disparities (Heard)
Purpose: Hypertension impacts more than half of the United States population, with a disproportionate impact on underrepresented minorities. 1,2 Poorly controlled blood pressure (BP) causes significant morbidity and mortality. 3 Accurate BP measurement in the health care setting is an essential step in improving BP control. 4 While measuring BP is a common procedure, student training in BP measurement is often inadequate and varies widely between…
Maximizing clinical rotation placements for US medical students
The mixed integer linear program assigned more students to clinics that have more total visits in order to achieve the optimal and fairest learning quality. In addition, by conducting various experiments on different numbers of students, we observed that we were able to allocate more students without affecting the number of patients students see
The Necessity of Uniform USMLE Step 1 Pass/Fail Score Reporting
To the Editor: In announcing the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 pass/fail decision, stewards and stakeholders of medical education acknowledged problems inherent to 3-digit Step 1 score reporting and commitments to wellness and holistic evaluation. The decision promised to lift the burden of exemplary Step 1 performance off students, but key details remain unresolved and unavailable to those needing answers. Medical st…
Archetypes of Coaching Across the Medical Education Continuum
A review to characterise and map the growth mindset theory in health professions education
Medical Student Portfolios
The Decline in Community Preceptor Teaching Activity
PURPOSE: Difficulty in recruiting and retaining community preceptors for medical student education has been described in the literature. Yet little, if any, information is known about community outpatient preceptors who have stopped or decreased teaching time with students. This study aimed to examine these preceptors' perspectives about this phenomenon. METHOD: Using a phenomenology framework, this multi-institutional qualitative study used semi…
University of North Carolina School of Medicine
The University of North Carolina School of Medicine (UNC SOM) aims to serve North Carolina and beyond as one of the nation’s leading public medical schools. We aspire to excellence across the array of careers in medicine, allowing our learners to have access to varied role models and opportunities to inspire them on their way to a career of science and service. Diversity is a core value to our work and community. We admit a very diverse class (cu…
Reflections of an Integrated Maternal-Child Health Medical Student Assignment
Student-led peer review of an online teaching file
The medical student-led peer review process meets core competencies in self-directed learning. The authors plan to explore the application of peer-assisted learning theories to the editing and peer-review process
Managing expansions in medical students’ clinical placements caused by curricular transformation
Many challenges could occur that result in the need to handle an increase in the number of medical student clinical placements, such as curricular transformations or viral pandemics, such as COVID 19. Here, we describe four different institutions' approaches to addressing the impact of curricular transformation on clerkships using an implementation science lens. Specifically, we explore four different approaches to managing the 'bulge' as classes…
Evolving roles of clerkship directors
Participant responses indicated the need for a strong partnership between department chairs and the dean's office so that clerkship directors can fulfill their responsibilities. Our results indicate a need to ensure clerkship directors have the time and resources necessary to manage clinical medical student education in an increasingly complex health care environment. Further studies need to be conducted to obtain more precise data on the true am…
Professional development for clerkship administrators
In order to meet the demands for presenting the workshops, a train-the-trainer model has been employed to expand the number of individuals presenting the workshops. Additional research needs to be done to determine influence of the program on future professional development endeavors
Faculty attitudes about interprofessional education
With faculty attitudes being positive, the exploration of faculty's perceived barriers to IPE was considered even more important. Identifying these barriers will allow us to modify our IPE activities from large, campus-wide events to smaller activities that are longitudinal in nature, embedded within current curriculum and involving more authentic experiences
Does student performance on preclinical OSCEs relate to clerkship grades
There were inconsistencies in OSCE performances between the classes of 2013 and 2014, but more information is needed to determine if this is because of testing variability or heterogeneity from class to class. Although there were no differences in preclinical scores based on M3 IM clerkship OSCE scores, students would benefit from a longitudinal review of their OSCE performance over their medical training. Additionally, students may benefit from …
